Yea i remember reading that around 6500k is ideal, i haven't been able to find any battery powered ones at any stores near me tho.

Will this 3000k just produce less of a yield/smaller fruits, or could it possibly not even be enough to initiate fruiting? Its Psilocybe Galindoi if that makes any difference.

Mushies respond to the blue spectrum (cool temperature) to tell them which way is up...3000k light (warm temperature) is absent the blue spectrum...either way they'll still grow they'll just be growing in all random directions instead of uniform in one direction.

At high noon the sunlight's color temp is 5600K, so like I said anything between 5000k-6500k will better replicate natural conditions...the closer to mother nature you can get the better IMO.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

5000k to 6500k is where you want your lighting scale at.

Damn alright, ill try to look around for a stronger light again.

If not, is there any major drawbacks to having them not all grow straight up, or is it just mainly that it doesn't look as nice as a nice straight canopy?

I'll be honest...I've never tried it without the blue spectrum in the lighting...it's just what I've learned from other people's posts :shrug:

Im noticing that the corners of my shoebox may be getting a little bit less light than the middle.

Is this fine or would you guys recommend adding another one or both of the other lights?

Thanks
